Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 10 oz ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 large egg (whisked)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound seafood mix
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 lb lasagna noodles (fresh)
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the bechamel sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan, add flour, cook for one minute, then gradually whisk in milk until thickened. Stir in parmesan cheese and set aside.
- Prepare the cheese filling: In a bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, egg, parsley, and salt until well combined.
- Cook the seafood: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté seafood mix with olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley for about 3 minutes until just cooked through.
- Assemble the lasagna: Spread bechamel sauce at the bottom of the dish, add lasagna sheets, top with ricotta mixture and seafood mix. Repeat layers two more times.
- Finish the top layer with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for approximately 35 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the Seafood Lasagna cool for several minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to the bechamel sauce.
- Ensure seafood is cooked through but not overcooked to maintain tenderness.
- Allowing the lasagna to rest before serving helps it hold its shape.
- This Seafood Lasagna recipe is great for meal prep and can be frozen before or after baking.
